MIA

The appointment system allows approved staﬀ to check the credentials of visiting industry staﬀ to ensure they are properly qualiﬁed to engage with healthcare professionals, and enter clinical areas within a hospital. It can also capture representative movements and activities in hospitals, and store the appointment records for future reporting.

The system includes the ability to provide credentialing services such as:

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and relevant inoculation records.

Conﬁrmation that individual hospital policies have been read and understood

To qualify for a photo-ID card, company representatives must meet the criteria set by the Life Science Industry in collaboration with the NHS and the Academy for Healthcare Science. The LSI National Credentialing Register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

The service is free of charge to the NHS and private healthcare providers — all that is required is access to the internet and the ID code of the cardholder.

Key objectives

Provide assurance to hospital staﬀ that company representatives admitted to sensitive areas are properly trained and are fully aware of their responsibilities.

Help the NHS and private sector fulﬁl its duty of care to protect patients and ensure safe surgical and clinical outcomes.

Provide an eﬃcient and eﬀective national solution for industry and the NHS.
